Dotabuff violates Dota 2’s player privacy settings, giving players an unfair edge

Dotabuff is a statistics source for Dota 2 fans that allows them to keep track of their performance and the current meta. Though Valve allows players to opt out of its API and prevent websites like Dotabuff peak into their track records, it looks like the statistics hub has been ignoring privacy settings.

The Dota 2 community has been speculating that the data leak could be tied to an API bug that Valve hasn’t fixed, but Matthew “Cyborgmatt” Bailey recently revealed that wasn’t the case.
